Susan Dawn Bailey (née Dafoe) passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 17, 2024, at the Welland Hospital, surrounded by her loving family, at the age of 69.

Beloved wife of 36 years to Peter Bailey. Loving mother of Sara De Divitiis (Mike) and Alex Bailey (Sarah). Cherished grandmother of Zander and Costa De Divitiis. Dear sister of Pat Blackburn, Judy Holgate (John), Rod Dafoe (Joanne), and Sandy Thompson (Topper). Predeceased by her parents, Carmen and Gladys Dafoe. She will be missed by her nieces and nephews, including Terra, Brandon, Cody, and Robbie (predeceased).

Sue grew up on a farm in Corbyville, where she developed a lifelong passion for gardening. She brought joy to the community through her performances with local organizations such as the Dance Den and Pinnacle Playhouse. A dedicated employee of Revenue Canada, Sue was known for her kindness and generosity.

Sue found great joy in home decorating and sewing, creating beautiful pieces that brought smiles to those she loved. She also treasured cheering on her grandson at hockey games, her enthusiastic voice echoing through the arena as she cheered him on. She loved cooking for her family and creating memorable meals that brought everyone together.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate doctors and nurses on the third floor of the Welland Hospital for the exceptional care Sue received.

In keeping with Sue’s wishes cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held in Belleville on a later date. Donations in her memory can be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
